Chapter 327: Chapter 326: The Missing Daughter Case [Part 2]

The viewers in the livestream couldn’t bring themselves to speak the truth.

No one wanted to give up…

What if the case is really solved?

But some viewers still made comments.

[Sigh… Lawyer Gu can’t do anything about this case either. He’s just a lawyer. Even if he’s a Lawless Madman, such a complex case can’t be handed to Lawyer Gu to solve.]

[If the case could be solved, and we find out who kidnapped Xia Ling, then have Lawyer Gu help with the lawsuit, he’d definitely be able to put them behind bars! A life sentence for a human trafficker is no problem at all!]

[Traffickers should get the death penalty! But the problem is how can we catch them now? Lawyer Gu is just a lawyer; how can he catch traffickers? The police have been at it for a month and still have no leads…]

[Indeed, missing person cases aren’t easy to crack, especially in less developed areas with fewer cameras…]

[This case is too difficult, isn’t it? Is there really no one who knows where Xia Ling is?]

[I understand Xia Qing Country, but even Lawyer Gu can’t do anything about this case. If the police can’t handle it, how can a lawyer?]

Xia Qing Country saw Gu Chen silent and understood.

This is tough for Lawyer Gu…

Yeah, if even the police are helpless, what can a lawyer do?

Xia Qing Country said, “Lawyer Gu, thank you for connecting with me. Just by connecting with you, I’ve been able to spread the word, which is already great. I want to use this opportunity to ask netizens nationwide to help me find my daughter. I can’t live without her; I believe she’s still alive, waiting for her dad to come to her rescue. I’ll do whatever it takes to bring her home!”

“Baby girl, if you see this message from dad, please contact me…” Xia Qing Country’s eyes were welling up with tears.

“Lawyer Gu, that’s it for now, thank you, I won’t disturb your work any further.”

Gu Chen spoke up, “Hold on.”

Gu Chen gave it some thought.

If even the police can’t solve the case…

That means it must be very complex, with criminals having methods to avoid surveillance and escape pursuit.

Police being unable to solve it usually means there’s just not enough clues.

In areas with fewer cameras, tracking down a trail after the fact is even more difficult.

But Gu Chen can investigate!

Though this means the case will be time-consuming and laborious.

First, the trafficker must be found, and Xia Ling recovered.

No matter if Xia Ling is alive or not, Gu Chen can still prosecute the traffickers as a lawyer!

Gu Chen could try using the system!

Normally, finding clues would be very difficult.

But using the system for investigation opens up possibilities!

In this way, many cases could be solved smoothly!

Once clues are provided to the police, Gu Chen believes it’s only a matter of time before the case is cracked.

Gu Chen opened the system interface.

And on the system interface, there was only one entry.

[Qingchuan County]

[Qingchuan County] was still grayed out.

This means, as soon as this entry is unlocked, there’s a chance to find Xia Ling!

This makes timing crucial.

At least Gu Chen needs to make a trip to [Qingchuan County].

[Qingchuan County] is over 1,500 kilometers away from Capital City.

Even a flight takes several hours to reach.

The key issue is there isn’t much surveillance there, and the population is relatively sparse.

Only upon arrival would there be a chance to crack this case.

Just got to Capital City, now it’s time to go solve a case…

This case is more complex than any lawsuit before it.

At least Xia Ling’s whereabouts need to be found before proceeding with litigation.

Gu Chen said, “I’ll take this case. I can help you investigate. I may not have many talents, but assisting the police in their investigation is within my capabilities. I’ll try to find your daughter for you, but after she’s found, you’ll need to let me handle the lawsuit.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Qing Country felt some joy.

“Thank you, Lawyer Gu!! Whatever happens, Lawyer Gu’s word is law!” Xia Qing Country exclaimed.

He knew, even if the case were given to Lawyer Gu, it would still be extremely challenging…

Because his daughter is still missing.

It’s been a month without a trace, and he feared Lawyer Gu would find it tough too.

But he knew Lawyer Gu never lost a case that he took on!

In many people’s eyes, Gu Chen had become a beacon of hope!

It seemed like as long as Gu Chen intervened, anything could be resolved!

Gu Chen said, “Folks, we’re ending the stream for now. This case is quite complex, so today’s livestream is over. I need some time to learn more about the case, and while I can’t promise to find Xia Qing Country’s daughter, I can assist in the police investigation.”

“I’ll give updates if there’s any news.”

Having said this, Gu Chen ended the stream. He already exchanged contact information with Xia Qing Country.

The audience in the livestream expressed thumbs up knowing Gu Chen was taking on this case, helping the police to solve it.

[Lawyer Gu is noble!]

[To be honest, I’ve never seen a lawyer willing to help find someone… Lawyers are typically good at lawsuits, yet Lawyer Gu steps up to investigate.]

[If a blossoming college girl disappeared, I’d help too!]

[Having people like Lawyer Gu around is truly amazing…]

[Everyone, let’s help spread the word!]

[Where has Xia Ling gone? Who the hell kidnapped her?]

[I can only say, whoever kidnapped Xia Ling is going to pay dearly, she’s just a girl, and she’s gone missing like this?]

[Find her! Find where Xia Ling is, since Lawyer Gu’s stepping in, I’m stepping in too!]

[This is why I like Lawyer Gu! Lawless Madman! He’s not only great in court, but he’s truly kind! He’s streaming legal education online to tens of thousands, is a university professor, and a law firm owner, earning well, yet he’s going to the frontline, even to Qingchuan County.]

[Qingchuan County is 1,500 kilometers from Capital City. Lawyer Gu is going to help investigate… I can only say, he’s my idol!]

This time, the case is particularly special.

Unlike before, when Gu Chen could simply go to court and argue.

At most he would just need to find evidence.

But this time, not yet at the lawsuit stage…

First, the missing Xia Ling needs to be found.

Gu Chen turned and saw Xue Qingqing already lugging two suitcases.

Xue Qingqing said, “Boss, I’ve packed everything up, tickets are bought, I’ve packed for you too, we can leave right now! We’re heading to Qingchuan County to assist in the investigation!”

Gu Chen shook his head and said, “I’ll go alone this time; Qingchuan County has few cameras and is a bit chaotic, plus Xia Ling was last seen disappearing there, and it’s reportedly the fourth case. You’re so beautiful, going to Qingchuan County with me would be too dangerous.”

Xue Qingqing comes from money, is quite beautiful, and a Peking University campus queen.

Though Xia Ling is also pretty, comparing her to Xue Qingqing is like night and day.

Plus, assisting the police investigation involves hardship. Gu Chen would prefer Xue Qingqing stay in Capital City and not follow him into risk.

Xue Qingqing blinked and said, “I’ll stick by your side, I’m not afraid, you’re there to protect me. Plus, I won’t be a burden; I’ll help investigate the case. Boss, we’ve been working out in the field together for over half a year, haven’t gone anywhere without you. This time is far away, and if I’m not with you, I’d be worried.”

“You mean only you can go alone, and I can’t follow?”
